A particular focus of the training was the “Criteria and Indicators for Internal and External Quality Assurance in Doctoral Education” document which will lay the foundation for launching one pilot program in Doctoral Education in line with the Salzburg Principles and the Bologna Process at each BiH public university. Many questions and challenges regarding the nature of institutional implementation of the pilot programs remain open, nonetheless, first results are expected in December 2013 subsequent to the training for internal experts in Tuzla. It is anticipated that the newly established Doctoral programs commence in fall 2014.
